I gotta say you have a good point.
I guess I should have been more blunt regarding my one of my issues. Here it is, please tell me what company and what product has been announced that will offeer this ideal 100mb/s external recording device for the new Panasonic camera? Its not a trick question. The camera means nothing to me if my little issue is not solved. After reading your note I realized I had not gone to the Fireestore web site since NAB to see what they had on offer. So, I went to several sites and found what I found in mid April, good looking products that max out at 25mb/s.
I have read many places that Firestore has a product that will work with the 100mb/s needs of the new Panasonic camera, GREAT! I don

I was wondering…
As I understand the P2 cards have a record speed of something like 680mbps, the highest rate they will have to record from the HVX camera, as i understand, is 100mbps. The question is, is the memory used in the P2 cards too high end with regards to performance and they could be made much cheaper if lesser speed memery was used?
Just a simple question.

One gig per second, oops, silly me, what a treat that would be…
Although I know of this firestore company I would rather buy a Panasonic product for the Panasonic camera. I guess part of my point was that someone said that firestore, or someone, was 99 percent to the point of having a workable product. I think we all know how hard that last 1% is, with out a real company talking about a real product, as in the opposite of rumors I would rather hang my hopes on Panasonic.
I guess I am a little frustrated, I anticipate a great camera yet I don

Jan C. gave a helpful talk yesterday in NYC regarding the new camera and she had with her a little silver box which has inspired my imagination.
The box was a battery powered small hard drive which is meant to copy P2 cards in the field.
The imagination part came when I asked myself, why cant we have a P2 size card slip into the P2 slot on the HVX on the back of the card a cable which goes directly to another P2 size card which slips into this portable drive? The drive copies P2 cards at 1 gig per second, the speed of 1080p in real time, why cant it just record 1080p in real-time through the high speed P2 connections on the camera?
I recognize that technical things have to be attended to in order to make such a thing work, like the software side that allows recording from the camera when you push record on the camera and the feature of reviewing the footage on the cameras LCD.
Panasonic has the answer in hand, unfortunately they are blinded by the desire of stopping Sony from making so much money from tape stock sales and from selling themselves as data acquisition visionaries, what about my vision?
Wish I knew how to do it…

Marketing makes an HD lens an HD lens.
The last great wave of glass/lens breakthroughs came in the late 70’s up to the mid 80’s. Everyone has been making glass and lenses based on those break thoughts. Supercomputers were used by military contractors and addressed the whole optic/glass thing to establish a modern base of just how to design and make glass and lenses.
We still have fantastic lenses from that era and before, the Nikon 105 sticks out. When you shoot large format film, the optical requirements of that stuff,8×10 film is so unbelievably high it blows HD out of the water. What kind of glass and lenses do they use? Lenses designed and built well before HD.
PR is PR, it adds some fun to the mix but in the end its just marketing. If you tired to buy a stereo system from the 80s today you could not, you could only buy a better system at a cheaper price, all the components have been upgraded, we now know more regarding how to use the components. In other words the base line has been raised permanently, the same is true of lenses. All the technology of the past has been applied to the most common lens. The fantastic new (20 years old) coatings etc its all there even in cheep lenses. HD lenses simply are a waste of money, but they look cool because they copy the external appearance of film lenses, most of which are over 10 years old. When was the last time you saw a 35mm film and said, man, that lens sucked.

Interesting, I like the lens that they are offering with it. Its made by, or at least quality approved by a great lens maker and it is the zoom range I like, wide to med telephoto. This allows for better quality because it is not living on the edge of a quality hit due to the overly ambitions zoom range. Even if I was offered the option, a good idea thought it is, of having to choose between no lens and the one they offer now, I would choose the lens that is offered making the assumption that this lens is custom fitted in a way most off the shelf lenses are not, to this specific camera specification. The lens was designed with this camera in mind the camera was designed with this lens in mind, sort of like a hand in glove thing, know what I mean?
Strange but true.

Yup, handles and the whole thing. New clips created, if you want new media too, you can sort etc, same deal.
Free your mind, try FCP.
